4.5
This book was filled with adventure! Spruill thrusts us into a nostalgic mermaid tale with a twist. It has wonderful pacing, the characters were well developed, and the world building was excellent. If you enjoy the following tropes, you will enjoy Of Song And Darkness.
🔹️Found Family
🔹️Fairytale retellings
🔹️Coming of age
🔹️Strong FMC
🔹️Banter
🔹️Slow burn
🔹️Closed Door romance
Fair warning this book will suck you in, and before you know it, it's 3AM, and you're considering pulling an all-nighter to finish it. (Ask me how I know. 🫣) I really enjoyed the plot, and it has a completed finale. I do wish there was more. I have questions, and they remain unanswered for now. Who knows, maybe there will be a novella I can get those answers from. Or ask in person during a future book signing? Regardless, this is a wonderful piratey tale to get swept in to. I highly recommend it.
